Connelly Partners

Independent since 1999, Connelly Partners operates from Boston and Dublin with a team of more than 180 makers, thinkers and doers. Clients span banking, travel and consumer brands, including Salem Five Bank, Liberty Bank, People's United Bank, Expedia Cruises, Gorton's and Bus Éireann.

Work centers on brand strategy and positioning, visual identity, messaging and creative production, alongside media planning and buying and experiential activations. The agency's approach starts by looking past what a client sells to the emotional need it fills in a customer's life, shaping messages designed to move people toward the brand rather than simply describe it.
